Without the Rain

With the rain, the gloom I see,
With the rain, the light doth flee,
With the rain, despair will be,
I question why God gives us rain.

Without the rain, no rainbow seen,
Without the rain, no grass so green,
Without the rain, no sun between,
This is why God gives us rain.

With the pain, I can’t go on,
With the pain, the tears are drawn,
With the pain, my hope is gone,
I question why God gives us pain.

Without the pain, no seed is sown,
Without the pain, no growth is known,
Without the pain, God’s love not shown,
This is why God gives us pain.
